->Even when I was in a crowd,->I was always alone.-->--'''Creator/ErnestHemingway'''

->'''Sheridan''': I never forget the feeling of helplessness. I never thought there could be anything worse than being all alone in the night.->'''Delenn''': But there is. Being all alone in a crowd.-->--''Series/BabylonFive'', "There All The Honor Lies"

->Sometimes it's a relief to get lost in the sea of faces...other times, it feels like I'm drowning.-->--Iris Kolrick, {{Shadownova}}

->For a crowd is not company; and faces are but a gallery of pictures; and talk but a tinkling cymbal, where there is no love.-->--Francis Bacon

->I have not loved the world, nor the world me;->I have not flatter'd its rank breath, nor bow'd->To its idolatries a patient knee, --->Nor coin'd my cheek to smiles, -- nor cried aloud->In worship of an echo; in the crowd->They could not deem me one of such; I stood->Among them, but not of them; in a shroud->Of thoughts which were not their thoughts, and still could,->Had I not filed my mind, which thus itself subdued.-->--Lord Byron, "Childe Harold's Pilgrimage", Canto III, Stanza CXIII
